Teachers (Local Authority Service) (Hansard, 31 January 1973)

HC Deb 31 January 1973 vol 849 c381W 381W

§ Mr. Grimond
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will introduce legislation to allow teachers to serve on local authorities.

§ Mr. Gordon Campbell
Teachers, like other local government employees, can serve as members of local authorities other than their employing authority. Whether they should be permitted to serve on any local authority will no doubt be one of the matters for discussion on the Local Government (Scotland) Bill, now before the House.
